The MINI logo sits below the left tail lamp, and there are F56 Cooper S-style twin central tailpipes. Air Breathers and Air Curtains, too – you’ll have seen these on the BMW 4 Series. This is the first time they’re on a MINI.

Of course, you wouldn’t expect things like the electrical door openers and snazzy cabin gadgetry to safely cross the production bridge, but this should be the shape of the next Clubman, more or less – see spyshots here.

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.

If I see one on the road, I’ll do whatever in my power to overtake or fall back waaaay behind it, because personally, I will not be fond following something with that bad ass….no really, thats a horrible read design [-personal opinion may differ-]. There are many good inspiraation for a small(but not mini)european hetch but a 2nd gen Chevy Impala is not one of them.

Beside that rear, i kinda like the rest of the design and espacially the interior, the designers did a great job in minimalising the interior(in concept form at least), freeing up space. The twin sunroof is a nice touch too, the only other car I remember with it is the awesome Citroën DS5.
